Jesus, Religion and the Law of Attraction

Bodhidharma Source: The Zen Teaching of Bodhidharma, The essence of the Way is detachment. And the goal of those who practice is freedom from appearances. If you use your mind to study reality, you won't understand either your mind or reality. If you study reality without using your mind, you'll understand both.... The mind and the world are opposites, and vision arises where they meet. When your mind doesn't stir inside, the world doesn't arise outside. When the world and the mind are both...

"Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest."Jesus clearly teaches the Law of Attraction. He says that in order to gain abundance and prosperity, you do not have to wait for that new job, promotion, raise, or Congressional approval. If think that you need abc in order to get xyz, then you will always be stuck in abc. There are no limits in the Universe right now! You...

Can't say that I blame Him. If you have read any of my works you know that I am not a religious person and I have a real problem with religious dogma. Jesus was a man on a mission. He saw the hypocrisy of the religious institutions of his time and, after experiencing intense enlightenment-(Christ), He put forth a teaching that was a new take (testament) on our true relationship to each other and the Universe (God). he was truly an avatar, mystic and teacher. He was not a Christian and did not want to start a new religion. That was done by men who thought they knew what they were doing. They didn

NEW REVIEW! This review is from: JESUS TAUGHT IT, TOO!: THE EARLY ROOTS OF THE LAW OF ATTRACTION (Paperback) Jesus Taught It, Too! is a very well written and thought provoking book. "The Law Of Attraction" is a subjective term that can possibly be explained as "What you sow is what you reap." Phillip Harris does a brilliant job of explaining how the words of Jesus we have access to can be interpreted to help us as we search for the "truth." The truth that could possibly mean heaven is here and now on this blessed earth and is what we make of it. It is a logical theory compared to

This review is from: JESUS TAUGHT IT, TOO!: THE EARLY ROOTS OF THE LAW OF ATTRACTION (Paperback) This is an excellent book for those who have a religious/spiritual background that may be keeping them from learning more about the Law of Attraction. It is well written. The author does an excellent job of showing that the main things taught by Jesus as recorded in the bible match perfectly with the present day main principles of the Law of Attraction. The author shows that even though the use of language has changed significantly since the time of Jesus, the meaning of the principles

This quote from the Master sums it all up. It was not asked as a question, but rather presented as a matter of fact. It is key to understanding the Law of Attraction and all that goes on in your world. Your deepest thoughts and emotions are the word of god-YOU! Your power is incredible. If you live in fear, confusion and dread, so your life will be because you have willed it so. So let it be thought, so let it be done!Live in a state of gratitude, happiness, and thoughts of love, and it is returned unto to you ten-fold. The law and the truth are simple; no gimmicks, no tricks. What you deeply feel

If you have been following my other blog, wakinggod1.blogspot.com., or the news, you will have reports about mysterious bird and fish deaths around the world. You will also have seen that 2010 was the worst weather on record and that climate change is definitely taking its toll. You may also have noticed that many religious fanatics are claiming that these are the 'end times', or Armageddon is upon us as these are signs found in Revelations.Please, do not by into this religious hype and...

A CHAPTER FROM JESUS TAUGHT IT, TOO... THE POWER OF GRATITUDEIn a polite society we say "thank you" after we receive a gift. Whilethat is nice, it not exactly the way the Universe works. Many falterin the manifestation process because they believe that they do notalready have what they want. After all, if you cannot see it or touchit, it is not there right? Wrong! Anything and everything that youcould possibly want or desire is all around you. It is in the form ofenergy waiting to be shaped and brought into the physical world bythe creative process of the mind.Thoughts are things and all things

The casual experimenter will probably have little success with theLaw of Attraction and the process that is outlined by Jesus in thesepages. If you enter this process with an attitude of, “I guess it willnot hurt to try it,” then you might as well seek some other means tofulfill your desires.“No man putteth a piece of new cloth upon an old garment;else the new piece that filleth it up agreeth not with the old: ittaketh away from the old, and the rent is made worse.Another parable put he forth.And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the bottleswill be marred: the new wine will burst the

The 'power' is the purloined letter of manifestation. As I wrote in "Jesus Taught It, Too: The Early Roots of the Law of Attraction," the 'secret' and now the term, 'power' has been hidden in plain sight for all to see for thousands of years. Some have scoffed at Rhonda's simplistic formula-love. They say that is nothing new and look at what 'love power' has gotten us-a world constantly at war. What they neglect to mention is that know the 'power' and using it are two different things. However, both approaches bring manifestation. In fact, the state of world affairs is proof that the lack of love

How does a person achieve this state of knowing? How is itpossible not to worry about the problems we may be facing todayor those that may arise tomorrow? Critics would argue that youmust plan for the future. Protect yourself from future financial perilsor possible health issues. The notion of “live for today” is perhapsjust a hippie holdover from the 60’s that is dangerous and shouldbe discarded. However, consider this. Perhaps the teachings ofJesus were, in fact, the basis of the rebellious culture that shookthe West in the 60’s and 70’s.“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness;

A “judgment” is a final decision. There is much confusion regardingthe following quote, as many have interpreted the lines in terms ofthe passing of a verdict or a condemnation. On the contrary, thissaying is at the heart of the Law of Attraction.“JUDGE not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment yejudge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, itshall be measured to you again.”Let’s rephrase the saying with the concept of a final decision inmind. Do not make a final decision so that a final decision is notmade about your life. Whatever you make a final decision about isthe course

The Law of Attraction is not just about the acquisition of things.Much of the recent criticism surrounding such phenomena as thefilm and the book “The Secret” is that the concept is egocentric andtoo materialistic. Yes, the Law of Attraction does deal with humanity’smaterial needs and desires but it also focuses upon humanity’sspiritual needs. Detractors, utilizing the scare tactics of old, attemptto cast this idea as anti-spiritual, something other than godly, andbordering on satanic. At first glance, the first quote discussed wouldappear to support the contention of the critics.“Take these things

It has been said that “the meek shall inherit the earth.” It has notbeen said that the poor, the sick, the depressed, the hungry, thedowntrodden or even the followers of a particular religion will inheritthe earth. “Meek” simply means “showing mildness” or displaying a“quietness of nature.” Yet for thousands of years that one phrasehas been used to justify the exploitation of millions. Humanity hasbeen told to suffer its lot in life because if you do, great rewards willbe bestowed upon you after death.Religious dogma has done little to advance the cause of humanity.While followers of various faiths
